EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus vs Anker SOLIX C300

A source-backed comparison with neutral, spec-derived verdicts. Unknown fields stay visible, and both stations use the same runtime assumptions.

EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus portable power station

EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus

286 Wh, 600 W AC output.

Lifecycle status: Unknown. Confidence: Verified. Last verified: 2026-06-24.

Anker SOLIX C300 portable power station

Anker SOLIX C300

288 Wh, 300 W AC output.

Lifecycle status: Unknown. Confidence: Verified. Last verified: 2026-06-24.

Capacity

Capacity: C300 is higher by 2 Wh.

AC Output

AC output: RIVER 3 Plus is higher by 300 W.

Solar Input

Solar input: RIVER 3 Plus is higher by 120 W.

The 60 W runtime estimate assumes AC output, 85% conversion efficiency, and 10% battery reserve. It is a sanity check, not a lab-tested result. This label describes availability in the cited region only. It does not imply that another model is universally better, compatible, or an official replacement.

Which one, when?

These verdicts are computed only from tracked specs. They do not use price, affiliate status, ads, sponsorships, or untracked preferences.

Use the cards as planning shortcuts, then confirm the full spec table and source links below. A larger number is not automatically better for every use case.

Runtime Examples

Same assumptions on both sides: AC output, 85% efficiency, 10% reserve, healthy battery, and steady load.

Planning Watch-Outs

These checks explain where the comparison is strong and where it still needs better source coverage.

  • 5 of 5 high-impact comparison fields are filled on both sides.
  • C300 has the larger nominal battery capacity, but usable Wh still depends on reserve, efficiency, temperature, and battery age.
  • C300 is lighter in the tracked weight data, which matters if the station is moved often.
  • RIVER 3 Plus has the higher tracked solar input, assuming compatible panels and charge-voltage limits.
